About

I'm Idrus Abu Uwais. I work as a civil servant in Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia, focused on urban and socio-economic development planning.

Outside of that, I've been deep in web3 since 2017 — through multiple cycles, multiple lessons. I build things: blockchain games, automated bots, smart contracts, tools that scratch my own itch. I write about crypto in Indonesian. I hunt airdrops. I vibe-code at odd hours.

I'm drawn to city planning, photography, local governance, and the strange overlap between public sector work and emerging technology. Two worlds that rarely talk to each other — I live in the gap between them.
